With none out and none on, Dodgers lead-off batter Joc Pederson fouled a 93.3-mph 2-2 fastball from Brewers pitcher Corbin Burnes into Knight's traditional-style facemask.
Dodgers public address announcer Todd Leitz described Knight's departure thusly: "HP Umpire Brian Knight will be leaving the game and assessed per concussion protocol. 2B Umpire Pat Hoberg will take over behind the plate when play resumes."
1B Umpire Jeremie Rehak and 3B Umpire Gerry Davis remained as the two field umpires.
Relevant Injury History: Knight has a history of head injuries as a home plate umpire.
